My Project

I love my students so much and I make sure to tell them that each and every day. The items from my list will make our classroom turn into a home. Students in my class come from all different backgrounds. They speak different languages, practice different religions, and come from ethnic places. It makes our class the best 4th grade class in the world but I may be bias. My heart goes out to all of the students will challenging home lives. These will give me the power to give each student the individualized instruction they need not only academically but socially too. I will be able to help my students with many different learning challenges by using the materials from this list.
